    unable to uninstall, install or update a game


    Hey People,

    Can anyone help me as snow runner wouldnt update so I uninstalled it. Now I am stuck with it requesting to update or resume install, these options do nothing.

    I have already tried uninstalling, repairing and resetting the xbox app and no other games are affected. I have also rebooted and ruin from admin.

    unable to uninstall, install or update a game

    Unfortunately none of that worked but what did work was creating a new local admin account, signing into xbox on there and installing the game from that profile. During the download I switched back to my main account and it was working.

    Thanks for the help anyways.

    Adventure Mode and Windows 8.1

    So you're unable to uninstall the game? That sounds like a Windows issue, I'd suggest you check for and install any available updates to Windows and the game, then contact Windows Support if it still doesn't work.
